Blessed with some outstanding solo work from members of the NBC Symphony, Stokowski brings out the melody and drama inherent in Tchaikovsky's score.

Reviews:
"Passion and pageantry imbue every note from Stokowski's inscription of Swan Lake... Bright sound and warm orchestral tone saturate this splendid restoration." Audiophile Audition
"'Arresting'. That is the word I wrote down the first time I heard the opening of this disc. It literally took my breath away. It still does every time I listen to it again." Maestrino
"...unless your purist and terpsichorean hackles rise at the impudence of the London-born magician you will soon submit to most of his blandishments." Classical CD Reviews
